A bioimage informatics QVEST: quick, versatile and easy segmentation & tracking system (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Often bioimage informatics solutions are developed on a case-by-case system and, once complete, may not be developed or used in a wide spread of applications. Here we demonstrate how a single image analysis technique can be used to segment objects in... Read More about A bioimage informatics QVEST: quick, versatile and easy segmentation & tracking system.

Development of Phase Shift Lithography for the Production of Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes (2014)
Journal Article

Metal-oxide-metal (MOM) diodes have been produced by combining two novel techniques: a reactive ion etche and subsequent plasma oxidation, and a phase shift lithography process. This has resulted in a significant reduction in device feature sizes, do... Read More about Development of Phase Shift Lithography for the Production of Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes.

Predicting potential responses to future climate in an alpine ungulate: interspecific interactions exceed climate effects (2014)
Journal Article

The altitudinal shifts of many montane populations are lagging behind climate change. Understanding habitual, daily behavioural rhythms, and their climatic and environmental influences, could shed light on the constraints on long-term upslope range-s...

A Semiempirical MIMO Channel Model in Obstructed Viaduct Scenarios on High-Speed Railway (2014)
Journal Article

A semiempirical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model is proposed for high-speed railway (HSR) viaduct scenarios. The proposed MIMO model is based on the combination of realistic single-input single-output (SISO) channel measurement res...

Dynamically-controlled variable-fidelity modelling for aircraft structural design optimisation (2014)
Journal Article

Structural mass optimisation of an aircraft design is important in increasing the likelihood that a high quality airframe is designed of minimal weight whilst providing necessary resistance to load. Analysis of such structures is often performed at a... Read More about Dynamically-controlled variable-fidelity modelling for aircraft structural design optimisation.

The influence of nominal stress on wear factors of carbon-fibre reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK-OPTIMA Wear Performance) against zirconia toughened alumina (Biolox delta ceramic) (2014)
Journal Article

Carbon fibre–reinforced polyetheretherketone is an attractive alternative to ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene in artificial joints, but little has been published on the influence of stress on the wear factor. We know that in ultra-high-molecu...

Improving species distribution models: the value of data on abundance (2014)
Journal Article

Species distribution models (SDMs) are important tools for forecasting the potential impacts of future environmental changes but debate remains over the most robust modelling approaches for making projections. Suggested improvements in SDMs vary from... Read More about Improving species distribution models: the value of data on abundance.

Survey of commercially available condition monitoring systems for wind turbines (2014)
Report

As wind energy assumes greater importance in remote and offshore locations, effective and reliable condition monitoring techniques are required. Failure rate and downtime studies have also highlighted a need for condition monitoring of particular win...

The ethical and social implications of personalization technologies for e-learning (2014)
Journal Article

Personalization in information systems can be considered beneficial but also ethically and socially harmful. Like many other technologies, the uptake of personalization has been rapid, with inadequate consideration given to its effects. Personalizati...
